Why do people say SK's do more DPS than Paladins?

Bro why are you so obsessed with raiding, this is a locked server. You can win content with only wars/clerics.

Majority do care about group/solo content.

Is 127 ds the maximum ds possible for both classes?

I am not an expert on how DS's stack. Either it is the same maximum for both classes, or SK's can get 12 more, depending on how Banshee Aura stacks. As far as I know Paladins don't have any built-in damage shields.

That's ultimately why I'm wondering because if SK can have more ds than paladin then SK is the clear winner for tank dps.

https://wiki.project1999.com/Buff_Lines if the wiki is correct it wouldn't stack with other superior DS's.

SK pet alone is doing more DPS than banshee aura anyway. Last time I did DS calculations for solo/group content, a 33 DS (Cadeau of Flame) is doing about 17 DPS per mob over 144 seconds of swings (unlsowed). That means banshee aura is doing about 6-7 DPS. SK pet is typically outputting around 12 DPS with just Strengthen Death. If a solo/group content mob is hitting enough times for Banshee Aura to do 12+ DPS, you are taking a lot more damage, and should probably slow the mob. If you can't slow the mob, you may need a Warrior to tank with disc instead.

As I said before, raid DPS isn't really relevant, since that is not the purpose of SKs/Paladins in raids. I think everybody here is in agreement that Paladin and SK DPS are basically the same in raids, assuming you have the same level, skill levels, and weapon. This is simply due to the fact that you can't use pets in raids, and all of your offensive spells will basically get resisted. Paladins and Shadowknights are simply autoattacking and racking up DS damage.

No rush. I appreciate you are willing to do the video whenever you have the time. I am excited to see it! I kinda hope you do beat my time, so I can try to get a faster time too hehe.

There are plenty of weapons you can give a pet that greatly increase their dps. 1-59, if sk want to do more dps they can easily with comparable weapons, but it can be a pain as many or the good pet weapons are lore so you only get so many chances before having to restock.

at 60 dps is not an important aspect of either classes typical gameplay except pp farming. overall pally is way more useful at 60 imo to have in your stable, but sk can do some really tricky stuff if you put in the time/effort to get the gear to near BiS level with all the fun toys.

I do feel like pallies have an edge 45-60 but if you’re trying to do bis solo stuff at 60 I’d rather have a sk for fd.
